Resumen:
Cities in the global South have received attention in global governance
and sustainability discussions. This seems to be a logical result,
considering that most people in the world live in them. In particular,
Medellin has received important attention thanks to a series of urban
interventions related to the improvement of different aspects of the
quality of life of its inhabitants. In this article we discuss how
governance is materialized and takes different shapes depending on the
conditions and actors in each specific case. Additionally, we explore
the case of Juan Bobo, a housing consolidation pilot project that took
place in the city of Medellin. Through this case, we try to understand
how governance takes shape under informal conditions and how can
different functional combinations of governance styles be achieved to
solve some of the problems that affect self-built neighborhoods in the
city.
